It is an obligation to make Istinja' from the wet najas -filth after it has passed from any of the eliminatory outlets. This means if urine or the like passes out of a person ,the person must clean himself from the najas- filth before praying, otherwise the prayer will not be valid ;However , one does not have to make Istinja' after passing gas.
• Istinja' can be done either by using water or by using a material that is pure ,solid ,dry ,uprooting and unrespected .Such materials are like rocks, tissues or papers that do not have any Islamic material on them.
• Performing Istinja' using water is done by pouring the purifying water over the contaminated place until it becomes pure.
• As for performing istinja' with other than water, it is done by wiping the outlet 3 times with the aforementioned described materials. If the outlet is still not clean, more wipes must be done until it is clean. It is not valid to have less than 3 wipes, even if cleanliness is achieved with 2 wipes.
Benefit:
It is a rewardable deed (sunnah) before entering the toilet room to say: Bismillah .Allahumma inni a^udhu bika minal-khubthi wal khaba'ith.
Which means: "O Allah I seek refuge with you from the harm of the male and female devils."
Also after leaving the toilet room it is sunnah to say:
Ghufranak. Al-Hamdullillahi-lladhi adhaba ^annil-adha wa^afana
Which means: "O Allah I ask your forgiveness. Praise be to Allah, who took the harm away from me, and granted me good health."
